MISCELLANEOUS SOCIAL MATTERS.


The passee girl is not unknown. Younger
women look at her with some disdaln,
while they confde in her, and the men Oh
her period do not look at her at all, so to
speak. People often complain that she
dresses too young, that she affects youth
full and girlish airs, that she chooses her
friends from younger generation, that
she is not resigned to growing old, and that
her conversation and manners are OF Ju-
venile style. They do not reflect that 1t Is
every ones duty to make the most oil ones
SELF. We do not feel old because others
regard us so, or because time has touched
us roughly; no one looks so old in her own
looking glass as in the preiudiced mirror
of another's eyes. There seems to be a
species of jealousy among the girls of the
period if the passee girl has the bad
taste to look younger than her age
"A jealousy which is iDcomprehensible
in view OF the fact that the
first is the undisputable possessor of the
youth of which the other only wears the
tawdry imitation; but the young girl seems
to be afraid lest the senior should usurp
her kingdom and carry of her vasssls,
being vaguely conscious that she has other
attractions than the iridescent and evan
escent ones peculiar to herself. The passee
girl, for the most part charms by her cheer
fulness, if nothing else. 1t is not the
pleasantest existence, that Of the passee
girl; it is not full of hope and promise; she
is not IN demand; she is more or less OF q
wall flower; she is not going here to-day
and there tomorrow; men do not shower
boquets upon her or hang upon her lips, or
write her sonnets, or dedicate music TO
her; but for all this, declares Harper
Bazaar, she may be very charming COM
panion, and more interesting than in years
when the bloom was on her cheek, in her
green and salad days"
But bow let us take a sly peep at our
October brides-to- be-sort OF hold the
mirror up to nature" as it were. am
sure the brides won't mind it, and the
grooms-well, don't care so much what
they think about it. So here goes. The
first fair girl who is TO assume the re-
sponsibilities of wifehood is a charming
blonde who resides below the creek several
squares, and it is understood a handsome
Chicago man is to take her away on the
nineteenth. thus depriying Wheeling OF one
of her most attractive young ladies, and a
prominent city official of his only daugh-
ter. Walking out Fifteenth street not
many squares from Chapline, one may de-
light his eyes by securing a chance glance
at different type of female beauty, who
is expected to say i'll the near future at the
altar II do" She is called a brunette and
she is called WELL because she is brunette
of the most pronounced type ard her raven
tresses, flashing black eyes and sweet face
are well known in Wheeling society. Hap
PLY she is to remain in Wheeling. Then
back TO the blonde style of beauty we 90,
and il is necessary to take a stroll up
Main street to lay eyes upon the beaute-
Gus maiden of whom | speak. Her eyes
are not dark, but they possess the
flash, and light up u lovely
face that would rather smile than irOwn at
any time. and it is crowned by tresses with
which Iight-colored gold cannot be COM
pared Fine figure, with queenly bear
my, she is woman who is well known |
and popular in society and fayorite al |
WAYS Her name is-but of course you all |
know by this time, and you also probably |
understand that she is to be taken away
from Wheeling unless the happy fellow de-
termines TO make his headquarters in the
city. On the same day, believe, that
this flower is to be plucked, another
bride, of the same type, and as
beautiful as Shakespeare's Jessica, will
be led TO the altar by young man prom
inent in Wheeling business life and He
brew circles. A rather pronounced bru-
nette, she is a maiden fair TO see, and the
residents Of North Market street will not
see her so often after the 9th inst, and she
will become, it is understood, "A part of North
Main street society, which, however, is
about one and the same thing.
A very quiet wedding will take place in
the central part of the city in the not dis.
tant future, and the bride will be one of
Wheelings most charming and cultured
young ladies, who is great fayorite in
society as well as in literary circles. The
most fortunate young man is a city official,
who is making his way to the front in his |
profession, and he isn't lawyer nor yet a
minister. And again, in about two weeks
a charming Island young lady will become
the bride of South Side gentleman, who
is as well known in his business as any
other man in the city. What South HUI
ron street loses by the marriage, South |
Market street will gain. The wedding
will be very quiet. Several other prospec-
tive brides might be spoken of at this
time, but it is probably best TO leave them
to the future. Two of the brides men
toned above, it is said, will have elegant |
weddings, and their trosseaus which are
near completion, are said to be perfectly |
lovely
Last Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock the |
pGrlors of the ST. Alphonsus church were |
the scene Of happy gathering, the occa-
zion being the marriage of Mr.. John Haber- |
stick TO Miss Kate Dailer. After the cere- |
mony, which was performed by Father |
Hyscinth, the bridal party were driven to
Stamm's four mile house, where an elegant
supper had been prepared In the evening
a reception was held at their home on
Thirty fourth street. Both of the young
people are popular members OF Centre |
Wheeling society and received a large
number of handsome and costly presents
